Widow Needs Help After Jim's Passing

I just lost the love of my life. We had both had several previous marriages and used to jokingly say they were just practice so we’d be perfect for each other. And we were. People meeting us for the first time thought we were newlyweds; we were so much in love.

March 9 was our 25th anniversary, but Jim was in a medically induced coma, so we didn’t even get to celebrate. His poor body finally gave out on Friday. My heart is broken, and I don’t know how I’m going to go on without him. I don’t even want to, but I know I have to.

I never knew that dying was so expensive. The cost of the funeral, the cremation, the urn for his ashes—it all adds up, and I just don’t have it. It’s bad enough that my heart is broken; I’m probably going to end up being homeless. I can’t maintain the house on just my social security. If anyone can help, I would appreciate it so much. I’ve never felt so lost and alone.
